I don't recall ever really seeing a definitive one drawn by anyone, just referred to, or as a button on a costume a la Mister Miracle..., kinda suggesting that it was actually beyind our comprehension, and best left to the imagination? Joe,

I guess you'd have to just know where to look on the net to get a scan. The torrent kids have everything scanned, they might help you. Sorry, Mister Miracle says no mother box for you!

That might help! Seriously, though; it might be worth it for me to do this just to make you say something nice about Buffy and mean about Chris Ware. Also, I am filled with an icy dread over the thought of what you may have found while searching for that unflitered. Had to get back to that. Did you type Mother Box+Scott Free in to google?
